Date: Sun, 04 Jul 1999 11:29:45 -0400 From: "Michael Irwin [CTech]" <mirwin@voicenet.com> Newsgroups: corelsupport.faqs.paradox Subject: FAQ:PdoxWin:Version 9 Release Notes The following release notes are available by inserting your CD, waiting for the autorun to start the Install program, and selecting "Release Notes". You will be opening a Help file; select Paradox 9 to get these notes. This FAQ is provided simply to save users having to load their CDs in order to get at these notes. ======================================================= Paradox 9 is available in the Professional Edition of WordPerfect Office 2000; it is not available in the Standard Edition or Voice-Recognition Edition. Borland Database Engine ================= * BDE Limitation - Reports: The length of the string identifying the full path to the report's source table, plus the table's file name, plus the length of the name of the first sort field, cannot be more than 66 characters. * BDE Limitation - Referential Integrity: The length of a string identifying the full path to the tables using referential integrity is 81 characters. If the tables using referential integrity have a length of more than 81 characters, you will get an error message and the referential integrity link will fail. Paradox 9 ======= * The Form & Report Data Model option of the Documentation Expert will produce an error and will be unable to generate a report if installed in the default path. The Expert or Paradox needs to be installed in a shorter path. * Table Restructure: selecting ARRAY field type gives an unclear invalid field type error message when creating an Interbase table. * View - Auto Table Resize: doesn't disable the vertical scrollbar under Visual Database Designer view mode. * When editing a HTML page in the Web Repository under the template tab, you must switch back to the repository tab before the changes will take affect. * Access Tables : In order to work with Microsoft Access tables, Microsoft Access or Microsoft Data Access components 2.0 (MSDAC 2.0) must be installed. * When printing a table structure from Info Structure, the last record in the table may not print. Printing the table structure from the Restructure Dialog box will print all records. * When printing from the Data Model Designer or the Visual Database Designer, some fields may not be shown in the printout. All the fields will be printed out properly if you stretch the tables vertically so there is a blank space of about two fields after the last field shown. * DragonNaturallySpeaking Uninstall does not remove the menu item within Paradox. If you select the menu item after the uninstall you will receive "Error Initialization Dragon" error. Re-install DragonNaturallySpeaking in order to use it with the application. * Installing Dragon NaturallySpeaking under Windows NT 4.0 may cause a "Microsoft Active Accessibility" is not installed error. To prevent this error, download and install MSAA. * Installing Paradox 9 on the same computer as Paradox 8 will change the location of the Web Repository. To use the original version 8 Web Repository, you can copy all the tables in the web repository folder (webrepos) from version 8 to the new version 9 web repository directory. * Graphics do not publish correctly when exported directly to a Microsoft ..DOC file. Publishing your report to RTF and then opening the RTF file in Microsoft Word will resolve this problem. * The page orientation cannot be set using ObjectPAL PrinterSetOptions. The Workaround is to use The Print Report Method combined with the ReportPrintInfo constant * Closing a Microsoft Access table after entering data in varchar field or longtext field may cause unexpected results. To prevent this, use a form to enter data in these field types. * If a Report contains only a crosstab object and nothing else, there may be a number of extra blank pages added to the Report. This is corrected by minimizing the blank space between the empty bands. * Some Database Expert Templates may not work correctly unless you set your working directory to the same directory as that used for the Database Expert Template. * If you place an Active X control on a form and then size Paradox (not just the form) so it is smaller than the screen coordinates, and using the mouse drag the top of the Paradox application and move it down so the Active x control is beneath the status bar and cannot be seen, you will not be able to move the application back up on the screen any further than the top of the Active X. The active X control blocks this from happening. This occurs in Windows NT 4.0 only. If you close the form you will be able to move the application to the desired position. * Importing or using table copy for Microsoft Access with BLOb fields under Windows NT 4.0 may cause unexpected results. Framework 9 ========= * Under a network or a CD-ROM installation, the Application Framework Help file (frame9.hlp) is not installed correctly. Framework Help can be accessed from the main Paradox Help file. jPdox Web Utilities ============= * All components required to support Paradox 9 Internet features are now contained in a folder named jPdox Web Utilities. Selecting the jPdox Web Utilities option from the Setup Wizard launches the jPdox Web Utilities Setup Expert. * Launching the Paradox JDBC Server can take several minutes if your system is not connected to a network. * JDBC Driver/DBNavigator: comma (,) character is displayed as asterisk (*) character in the Connection dialog. * Direct connection to a database via ODBC DSN is not supported. Create a BDE Alias to that DSN to use ODBC databases. * jPdox requires ~28 MB if the Java Virtual Machine software is not already installed. * Windows Nt 4.0 users must have administrative privileges to launch the Paradox Report Server. * JRE 1.2.1 is included on the CD (jre1_2_1-win.exe in the Corel folder). Paradox Web Form Designer ==================== * Paradox Web Form Designer supports color displays of 256 colors or higher. * Paradox Web Form Designer has read-only access to Oracle tables. * Paradox Web Form Designer has read-only access to Microsoft SQL tables if the table contains a Boolean data type * Paradox tables with password protection: The applet opens in a browser with any password entered. The workaround is to click on the Refresh/Reload button in web browser and the Enter Your Password dialog will be reloaded. * AutoIncrement property cannot be set until the numeric field bean is bound to a table. * Tools, Settings: Get Netscape Plug-in From setting does not work if the network path is entered. * Table Frame: Vertical scrollbar does not scroll properly when scrolling exceeds the set cacheSize. * Query bean: Need to set the JDBCDriver property before you set the tableName property. * Calculated Field: Field name containing round brackets is not supported. * Calculated Field dialog: Table name requires quotes in the formula box. * Entering '13' as the month in a Table Frame date column increments the year in Microsoft SQL Server databases. * Link Fields: In order to edit the child table, the navigator property of the child Query bean will need to be set to a navigator bean. * Link Fields: Saving new record to child table while focus is on parent bean does not write to table. * Link Fields: Beans attached to parent table do not refresh properly after an error has occurred. * Dates: Date bean does not work with SQL databases. Workaround is to use the table frame or time stamp bean. * TableName Property: Do not use the table's extension when entering the table name. * Radio Buttons: It is not possible to edit Microsoft SQL Server tables using radio buttons. * Filter bean: Does not work with SQL tables. Documentation and Online Help ===================== The following updates have been made to the Paradox 9 User Guide, Version #902049. The version number can be found on first page of the Paradox 9 User Guide. Page 45, Private directory section (second paragraph should read as follows): Your default private directory is PRIVATE, created in the SHARED directory in C:\PROGRAM FILES\COREL on your hard drive or on your network home directory if you have no hard drive. Page 46, Specifying a private directory section (first paragraph should read as follows): If you do not specify a private directory, Paradox uses the PRIVATE directory which is installed in the SHARED directory in C:\PROGRAM FILES\COREL when you install Paradox on a local (non-network) drive. If you have no local hard disk, the network home directory on the file server should be used as the private directory. ======================================================= Copyright © Corel Corporation. 1999.
